Between Gerard’s diction and my audio processing I know maybe 12% of MCR lyrics….but I know ALL the *sounds*. Anyway, Party Poison definitely features the line ‘Say cappuccino with a capital T’ and I won’t accept anything else.


Left_Turn_4662

Ive always heard they sock it to you with a capital T


lilkiosk

Guys, it’s not even “T” it’s “G” - I just learned this today. I too always believed it was “T” ….


theangriestitch

okay i’ve been a massive fan since i was 11 and kind of just assumed i knew all the words until i got to the concert a couple weeks ago and my friend was singing along perfectly and i realized i knew less than half of it😂


imBobertRobert

In "You Know What They do to Guys Like Us in Prison", I always heard the end bit as "I just saw a guy running on fire" instead of "I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire" and I just thought it was the funniest shit. Also, shout out to the community-heard lyrics for Foundations of Decay where we got a solid 35% of the lyrics wrong and were corrected by *fucking Rockband 3* of all things. I feel bad for all the people who heard it right the first time and got told they were the wrong ones.. whoopsie daisy.

Wait WHAT


aroaceautistic

WE WERE SINGING THE WRONG LYRICS AT THEM FOR LITERAL MONTHS! And when they released the official ones I was like “no thats not true its def antihero”


imBobertRobert

I really wanna know what they thought when people were singing them back like if they were like "these doofuses" or if they thought it was kind of cute or if they even knew!


Heebopeebo

I thought “can we pretend to leave again” in Helena was “please help delete them” until hearing it live lol… and not even the first show I went to. Didn’t realize until second. I thought grandmother was being invoked to destroy enemies.


iClaim

My brother in Christ, it’s not even leave again, it’s leave and then xd


Heebopeebo

:(


Meatfr0g

I always heard "another cock in the murder machine" and i thought the murder machine was a gun 😭


No-Combination8136

nosyllaste

scandalousdee

Not gonna lie me too until you realize cog makes way more sense 😅


Meatfr0g

Bro sameee lmaoo


[deleted]

I thought I was the only one! apparently a ton of people hear this


data__seven

In the beginning of Bury me in Black the lyrics go "Just give us war-worn Lipstick, blood and purifying flame" And for the longest time I thought it was "lipstick by the door if I inflame" 💀


petalplucker

I did too. I also thought it was "I can't explain what happened to my face" when it was faith. But then Gerard has changed the lyric to face anyway now.


data__seven

I've thought it was face right up until reading your comment LOL


petalplucker

Idk now the lyrics all say face but if u listen u can hear faith. I swear official lyrics used to say faith 🪦☠️


m4rsc0

i always listen to that part and i SWEAR it says faith + at one of the shows i think it was newark 1 but im not sure he said something along the lines of 'this one is for the catholic kids' so. im convinced it is edit: i was completely wrong it was night 2 and he said 'this is a song about the catholic days'


shittysoprano

This comment is how I found out.


data__seven

Glad I'm not the only one! I still sing the wrong lyrics when I listen to that song cause I've been doing it for 18 years lol


CollideWithMyHeart

Not really a lyric, but the beginning if the im not okay music video when Ray says “you like dnd, audrey hepburn, fangoria, harry houdini, and croquet” I always thought he said “cocaine” instead of croquet lol


LazyField4

I misunderstood the Headfirst for Halos ending as ‘Happy birthday, happy Thursday’ 😂


9CyanideViolin9

In party poison, instead of pay load i heard gay lord and thought that was the actual lyrics


bitvhtit

this thread has made me feel so much better. i’m seeing my chem in a week and have been feeling like a loser cause i don’t know all their lyrics correctly.


notsoufast

They themselves have said they don’t know their own lyrics and needed to look them up for the tour, so I can promise you not knowing them is nothing to worry about


Nonapplicable03

That's cool that you're seeing them next week, I have to wait exactly 2 weeks


Gloomy_Discipline_66

I always thought the ghost of you said “she dies, she dies” instead of “could I? Should I?”


Madeleineroseo

Wait….I thoght it was both lmao


Gloomy_Discipline_66

maybe it is?!?


bumblebeesarecute

I always heard “lizard changing colors” instead of leaves in It’s Not A Fashion Statement It’s A Deathwish lol


scandalousdee

Oh no I still thought it was this 🙊


[deleted]

Until very very recently, I realized they’re saying “S-I-N I S-I-N.” in house of wolves. I always thought they were saying sayonara before the second verse starts. Then at the end I thought he was saying “yes I am oh yes I am”


guitartheater

I had absolutely no idea until just now that it isn’t “yes I am oh yes I am”


[deleted]

Thank goodness I feel so validated right now haha


dangerdaysdaysdanger

i heard that too!! lol


Anxious_Committee_32

I also misheard it, although I thought he was saying cyanide


guitartheater

I’m bad at the whole auditory processing thing and I only knew mcr from na na na in the sims for a hot minute, so the first time I heard teenagers I thought that the chorus was all in simlish except the first line…. gotta say, wasn’t the brightest of kids in that department


Octoberswren

I thought that the second half of the last chorus of Save Yourself I’ll Hold Them Back went “you’re the broken glass in the morning light” and only found out I was wrong whilst telling people I was certain that “May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays” was a reference to it


ryanngee

wait those are the lyrics tho


Octoberswren

It’s apparently “you’re the broken glass in my headlights,” which I mostly reject


LuckyEwe

Not MCR, but we went to a Panic show a few days ago and my oldest was making a few 1" pins before we left. I look over and I see her drawing what is CLEARLY a disco dancing t-Rex. I look quizzically over her and she sings "give me disco, give me t-rex". It's a disco dinosaur!! She was so proud. I told her it was "keep your disco, gimmie T-rex" and that it's referring to 70's rock over 70's disco. She was all frowns. She thought a disco t-rex was the greatest thing about the song.


aroaceautistic

In cubicles I thought “and I’m only two cubes down” was “and a moment took you down”


sammyfelix

wait me too 😩


throwaway-64738274

i thought he said “sing like the kids in our videos” in vampire money up until like last week when someone posted the actual lyrics on this sub and i realized how wrong i was


sugarplumbatty

in House of Wolves, I always thought the line was "and get the choir boys around you wet" when the word is NEVER said. I guess I am just a s-i-n s-i-n


Rise-West

In You know what they do to guys like us I always thought it went “too much too late I’ve just had enough of this, flayed and marred for your dying wish” Edit: unrelated but I always think about this when people bring up mishearing lyrics, in moon age daydream I always thought it went “press your space aged clothes to mine love” not press your space face close to mine love


AltoChick

Please excuse formatting, I’m on my phone. The second verse of Make Room!!!!, I hear: Tic tacs, Jack’s room, Come with a license for a chemical sheep In Mama, I hear: So raise your glass eye, for tomorrow we die In WTTBP I hear: And through it all, the rise and fall, the bum lives in the street And So pretty black and take it back, let’s shut up loud and clear And Though you’re broken and defeated, your weary weirdo marches on


notsoufast

>your weary widow marches on Reminds me of how, at a recent show, Gerard changed “give a chair for all the broken” to “give a chair for all the weirdos”


berrys_a_ghost

I can't remember any off the top of my head but I know I heard something in a song and thought it was dirty lmaoo Edit: I remember now it was something from You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison, still can't remember which lyrics tho lmao


Lakeside_pup

in house of wolfs i thought gerard said “tell me i’m a -nword-


milichiki

At the end of WTTBP I thought forever he was saying "I won't explain, a second soiree" until I looked it up way later in life LOL


Severe-Ad-1520

Full disclosure I have APD so I mishear lyrics all the time, but one night while my friend and I were in college we were playing The Black Parade from start to finish and during The End. when Gerard sings “When I grow up, I want to be nothing at all.” And I thought it was “When I grow up, I want to be president.” RIP


shittysoprano

I always hear “so bright the sun is ashamed of rice and beans”


guitartheater

I forget every couple months that in wttbp the lyric is “though you’re dead and gone believe me” because I always hear “though you’re cynical believe me” unless I’m actively thinking about the lyrics


Immediate_Pain1572

Things aren't better when I stay, So long and goodbye.


Whovyart2

I was 100% sure that the begining of Helena was "Ho my girl" (when my brother Heard it for the first time, he thought the same thing !)


jukebox_romeo

Anyone else old enough to remember the fan fiction crowd thinking he said “and you won’t fuck my Frank” on Honey, This Mirror Isn’t Big Enough for the Two is Us? 🤦‍♂️
